Saw the pics in Autocar this morning, and have to say I was underwhelmed about them - I thought the 'M' cars were supposed to be aggressive and muscley?

I'd still prefer an RS4

Looks so boring and I bet the real one won't have those vents in the bonnet, carbon roof and the cup tyres. I prefer the evo x concept.

The RS4 has struck a good balance in the looks department IMO. And is meant to have plenty of power, and drives very well.

I don't doubt this M3 will drive very well, however that interior (the bit you end up looking at) just looks so dull.

Hmm, let me be the lone dissenter in the crowd...

I think it's spot on. If it DOES come with the CF roof and the CSL-esque wheels, with that bonnet bulge and the quad pipes, that's all I want from my M car. Think back to all of them - E60 M5, E63 M6, E39 M5, E46 M3... none of them were lairy.

I happen to love the looks of the Coupe anyway and in Interlagos Blue or Imola Red this thing will be phenomenal.

But then I AM a bit of a BMW fan... shameful, I know!

It gets a from me.
